Kickstarter - Sui Generis - Kickstarter Update #12, Writing

November 26th, 2012, 19:30

With just 3 more days to go Sui Generis still needs another 60K (pounds that is). Not impossible, but difficult. To help things they have added an update on writing.

We promised a writing update and here it is. We have three loosely connected short thematic pieces, two of which also illustrate what could be actual gameplay experiences. By reworking encounters into a story format, you begin to get a feel for the tone we're aiming toward. Enjoy!They say we built cities in the sky.The histories say we made great things, once. White pillars that never tarnished. Great monuments, and greater cities around them. We lived in tranquility. Somehow, everything changed. None can tell what the ancestors did to anger the Gods… to make them poison the water, and curse the skies. That was lifetimes ago, so far gone that no one remembers how or even where it may have been. Others say thatís only fairy stories. That things have always been such as they are. That our ancestors scraped in the dirt just as we do today, and dreamed of greater things around the nighttime fires… just as we do today.Myself, I couldnít guess. I dream of walking the hills without need of a sword, of falling to sleep without setting traps against the night. Beyond that, I suppose I donít much care.They say we built cities in the sky… Iíll settle for travelling without looking over my shoulder, or wondering what hides within the evening mist.
